README

This bundle provides a better dump() function, that you can use instead of
var_dump(), better meaning:

per object and resource types specialized view: e.g. filter out Doctrine internals
while dumping a single proxy entity, or get more insight on opened files with
stream_get_meta_data();

ability to dump internal references, either soft ones (objects or resources)
or hard ones (=& on arrays or objects properties). Repeated occurrences of
the same object/array/resource won't appear again and again anymore. Moreover,
you'll be able to inspect the reference structure of your data.

ability to operate in the context of an output buffering handler.

full exposure of the internal mechanisms used for walking through an arbitrary
PHP data structure.

Calling dump($myVvar) works in all PHP code and {% dump myVar %} or
{{ dump(myVar) }} in Twig templates.

Usage

The recommended way to use this package is through composer.
Just create a composer.json file and run the php composer.phar install
command to install it:

{
"require": {
"tchwork/debug-bundle": "~1.4"
}
}

Then, enable the bundle in your app/AppKernel.php, preferably only for the dev
and test environments:
